CPAN::Packager - CPAN::Packager is yet another packager
======================================================
What is CPAN::Packager
=======================
CPAN::Packager is a tool to help you make packages from perl modules on CPAN.
This makes it so easy to make a perl module into a Redhat/Debian package
INSTALLATION
============
CPAN::Packager installation is straightforward. If your CPAN shell is set up,
you should just be able to do
% cpan CPAN::Packager
Download it, unpack it, then build it as per the usual:
% perl Makefile.PL
% make && make test
Then install it:
% make install
How to use
===========
case1: build a module
sudo cpan-packager --module Test::Exception --builder Deb --conf conf/config.yaml
case2: build multiple modules at a time
sudo cpan-packager --modulelist modulelist.txt --builder RPM --conf conf/config.yaml
options
--module module name (required option)
--builder Deb or RPM (optional. default is Deb)
--conf configuration file path (required)
--always-build always build cpan modules if module is aready installed (optional)
--modulelist File containing a list of modules that should be built. (optional)
RPM/Deb Packages are generated at ~/.cpanpackager/{deb or rpm}
config.yaml is located at github repo.
See http://github.com/dann/cpan-packager/tree/master
Please see the configuration schema if you want to write config your self.
You can see schema like below.
perldoc CPAN::Packager::Config::Schema
Configure CPAN mirrors
======================
Set cpan mirror uri in your config.
CPAN::Packager downloads modules from cpan_mirrors
---
global:
cpan_mirrors:
- file:///home/dann/minicpan
- http://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/
Use cpan-packager with minicpan (Optional)
=============================================
You can use minicpan with CPAN::Packager.
At first, you mirror CPAN modules with minicpan.
minicpan -r http://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/ -l ~/minicpan
Set cpan mirrors uri in your config if you want to use minicpan.
after that you just use cpan-packager ;)
---
global:
cpan_mirrors:
- file:///home/dann/minicpan
Additional setup (For debian users)
===================================
Copy conf/debian/rules* to ~/.dh-make-perl directory.
copying perllocal.pod is conflited if you dont do that.
DESCRIPTION
===========
cpan-packager will create the files required to build a debian or redhat source
package out of a perl package. This works for most simple packages and is also
useful for getting started with packaging perl modules. Given a perl package name,
it can also automatically download it from CPAN.
